Re: Time Math in RPGLE

[Raul Jager <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Use SUBDUR to get the seconds, then use ADDDUR to add those seconds to a
time variable previously set to zero.  Or timestamp if more than a day.

Like:

EndTime   SUBDUR  BeginTime       DurationS:S
          CLEAR                   Duration        (time)
          ADDDUR  DurationS:S     Duration
